Frequently asked questions
How to recognize a locksmith scammer?
Beware of abnormally low prices announced by phone, no verifiable physical address, refusal to give a quote before intervention, and locksmiths who insist on changing the entire lock unnecessarily.
What to do if a locksmith asks for an exorbitant price on site?
You have the right to refuse and not pay if the price was not agreed upon beforehand. Ask for a detailed invoice, take photos and contact the police if necessary.
Does a serious locksmith always give a quote?
Yes, a serious professional always gives an estimate by phone and confirms the price on site before starting. At Janssens, we clearly announce our rates before any intervention.
Are locksmiths found on the internet reliable?
Not always. Check Google reviews, the existence of a physical address (shop), the Belgian company number (BCE) and favor local businesses with a storefront.
